2017 has been an extraordinary year in science, the breakthroughs we saw happening are now paving the way towards completely reshaping humanity's future. A lamb was created in an artificial womb, an embryo was edited, a new kind of matter was discovered and Chinese computer scientists made a quantum leap into teleportation + waaay more stuff. Science fiction is becoming our reality and its just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy the findings, your life and the people you love's life is about to get an upgrade. Thats my opinion at least :)

I also found this documentary (below) on youtube about this year in science. I haven't watched it yet, but planning to. Hope its a good one!

What are your take on all of this? Do you like it or does it scare you?
What do you wish for to happen in science in 2018?

Foundational Inspiration

I’d like to share with you some content I love going back to whenever I feel stuck, unfocused or frustrated. Perhaps you might find some inspiration in my motivational resources too. I’m sure many of you are familiar with this already.

Listening to podcasts, books or videos from Tim Ferriss, Oprah, Larry King, Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Gary Vaynerchuck is always a safe bet - these people reminds me of who I am and where I want to be therefore easily put me back on track. Two books I always have in mind are “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek and “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown

But below are two videos that never goes out of date and has been essential to me start going after what I really want.

Video nr 1 Casey Video “You Can’t”

This video is for everybody that has been told that “they couldn’t do something just because.” I grew up in an environment where doing what I truly wanted as a grown up never seemed like an option. I was filled up with doubt in the life of becoming an adolescence cause I though I had to settle down with a life I didn’t wanted and that the only possibilities were either becoming a doctor, nurse, lawyer, journalist or teacher or firefighter or policeman. I had no one to look to for inspiration. Being an entrepreneur was an unfamiliar concept. No one once mentioned to me that I actually can create my reality, I can make my life just the way I want it. But deep within I knew that there had to be more, I wanted to be my own brand. I wanted to create a life around me and my passion but I didn’t know how. And it took me 29 years to figure it and dare going for it. I wonder what would happen if someone at a young age presented to me the concept of entrepreneurship. Anyhow, watch this and be inspired.
